The Cordoba C5 Classical Guitar is perfect for any aspiring classical guitarist or steel-string/electric wizard looking to take a walk on the wild nylon-string side. The solid cedar top produces amazingly rich tone while the wide string placement, easy string tension, and low action make it a breeze to play. Mahogany back and sides and Spanish cedar neck.

I owned one of these as my first >50 dollar classical and played it for several years before giving it away. I am about to buy another. The tone is very soft and warm and carries very well. You can coax a lot of volume from this model, although the tone can wash out a bit if you are playing very softly, but hey, it's not a 5000 dollar concert instrument either so... I don't believe it is possible to find a better guitar for this price range. I love the cedar top sound.

This guitar sounds fantastic, but the bridge keeps coming unglued. I have had two of these within 2 months do this. I keep it in a consistent 70 - 72 deg Fahrenheit with a relatively low humidity (probably 40%). I don't know if it was just a bad shipment or what, but I swear I haven't exposed it to any temperature swings or direct heat. Just store it in the gig bag it comes with. Guitarcenter has replaced it once no questions asked now I have to bring back the last replacement too. Their ProCoverage Warranty certainly has helped me feel better about this, but I just want to play. Anyone else experiencing this with one purchased late 2009 early 2010?

I was looking for a good nylon string guitar for both Mariachi and classical styles, and after trying every guitar in my price range at every store within 20 miles, I settled on the Cordoba C-5. I picked the Cordoba because it had the nicest feel, low action, beautiful tone, and best appearance compared to anything I tried even at 2-3 times the price. After taking it home, I literally couldn't put it down; it's a joy to play. I've had it several days now and my first impressions were more than confirmed. The finish is beautiful, no flaws of any kind that I could see, the playability is great; the guitar feels perfect in my hands. And the sound is rich and clean; almost none of the "boominess" found in a lot of classical guitars in this price range. Overall I'd highly recommend the Cordoba C-5!

This guitar is very good for anyone looking to play classical guitar. From a beginning guitarist to an experienced non-classical guitarist looking to start playing classical. The BEST guitar for the price. I feel that it plays beautifully despite that the strings are a bit far from the fret board. Some sand paper and glue will fix that. I'm very excited to play once the strings are lowered!!

Having just spent considerable money to have the guitar setup, as it should have been from the factory, I would strongly recommend a through inspection before purchasing. My luthier stated plainly that my C5 was "basically unplayable" in the condition I received it in. Note that I removed the guitar from its factory packaging while in the store so it had not been monkeyed with before I bought it. The neck had too much bend, the action more than double the height it should have been, and numerous frets stood high compared to their neighbors. The only reason I had the work done instead of selling the instrument and buying something else was he said the workmanship was quite good and the materials above average for this price point.

I recently purchased a C5 and have been learning classical technique. (I'm branching out from years of playing jazz on my Gibson steel string). The C5 is very easy to play - the action is as good as guitars costing MUCH more. The quality of the finish and tuners are top notch. But the real amazing thing about this guitar is the fullness of the bass strings. It has a very rich and full sound. It's a great guitar for the money!

At this price the Cordoba is the best value for your money. The guitar has quality materials, excellent craftsmanship, and most of all a superior sound to all others in this price range. I can't understand why people complain about a high action. A classic guitar is designed and built this way to allow full sound at the sound hole. No less than 2.7mm high E and 3.0mm Low E at the 12th fret.Measurement is bottom of string to top of fret. You go any lower and projection and sustain declines. People that want super low actions should get acoustic or electric with steel strings. I am very happy with my Cordoba and shortly will be getting a flamenco model People must remember that the C5 has a truss rod which should be adjusted to get proper relief at the neck. Norman H.

This guitar plays itself and sounds great. Easy fingering and clear, full deep tone - the guitar truly is a great quality for the money! I would certainly purchase another one without hesitation if I ever needed another classical guitar.

I bought this guitar recently after reading positive reviews. I went to the store and as soon as i put it in my hands and played, i knew i wanted it. The sound is so full and resonates very well. This instrument is quality made and for the price it is a MUST HAVE! From a beginner musician to an experienced professional, this is an awesome guitar. I purchased this instrument to play Mariachi music but also to practice finger style and classical arrangements.

This is my second cordoba guitar. My first was a C3M and it was great. This one is even better. The quality of the sound is amazing. Great sound and resonance for your buck. The customer service is also great. This is a great company and a great product.

As someone just learning to play a guitar I did a lot of research to get the best value for a beginner like me. The C5 appears to be an excellent fit. It sounds good, has the "specs" I was looking for and looks and feels well made. After I brought it home I asked a friend, who is an experienced guitarist and whose whose opinion I value, to examine it. After a thorough check including the ability to tune it to his exacting standards, he played it so that I could hear the sound as a spectator as well as a player. Think I made a good choice. At my age I doubt that I'll ever learn to outplay the C5 capabilities.

This is my first guitar and my room mate is teaching me to play. It sounds beautiful, and he says he is amazed at the sound quality of this Cordoba C5. It seems easy to play also, and the wood finish is an awesome touch. A+ 5* Guitar

I recently switched from steel string to Classical guitar and happen to come across the Cordoba C5. Once you pick this guitar up and play it, you will not want to put it down. This guitar is hands down the best qaulity, sound, and overall playbility for the price. I picked up quite a few guitars when on my search but always came back to this one.

I bought this guitar after spend many days trying and testing several and almost all classical guitars in the price up to $500.00 and finally I decide for this one because sound and tone is great. No complaint. Just buy it!

I wanted to move to a Classical guitar and came across the Cordoba C5. This guitar demonstrates the great quality, sound, and overall playability for the price. I tried a few guitars in my search but always came back to C5. The finish is remarkable and appears to be a more expensive guitar. A well known guitarist told me this was a good choice!

It does not come "out of the box" set up best to play, obviously. Action was high (better than too low), so I filed down the saddle to get 3mm height above the 12th fret on the high E string and 4mm on the low E string. No buzz at all at those heights. I noticed the B and G strings, when tuned open, were slightly sharp on the 5th and 4th frets, respectively, so also filed a set-back on the saddle to flatten them (intonation) and that helped some. I also notice a very slight back-bowing in the neck that was fixed by about a 1/8 turn to loosen the truss rod.I'm not the best judge of nylon string sound as I'm used to steel strings, but hear no obvious issues. The only fear I have is the bridge separation others have reported. I've only had it 2 weeks, and so far so good. IF that happens I'll change rating to 1 star. If it can be fixed with Elmers with no effect on sound I'll bring it up to 2 stars. That shouldn't happen to a $300 guitar, and the sales person said he saw none returned with that problem to his store. Let's hope it's been addressed by Cordoba in China.

Purchased used from Guitar Center website. It was delivered on time and well packaged. The condition was listed as "great". After much searching I found a small scuff on the back of the body. Otherwise looks and plays like brand new. I love the tone of the guitar. I've been playing for a couple of years and wanted something to use for learning classical and fingerstyle. I couldn't be happier.
